K1 Speed
8034 Midway Drive
Littleton. CO 80125
(720) 726-1264
www.k1speed.com

K1 Speed is an indoor go kart amusement area open year around. Race against family, friends or co-workers, or race against your own time. Receive a race results sheet after each race to track your standing. Current Nascar competitor Boris Said is the owner of the K1 Go Kart Company, so an authentic racing experience is promised, and first time riders are required to complete safety instruction. The karts at K1 are exclusively electric but nothing like the plug-in golf carts of tourist destinations. The 20hp electric engines pack a lot of torque and outstanding acceleration coming out of turns. And best of all, the electric karts are great for the environment!

Unser Karting & Events
7300 Broadway St.
Denver, CO 80221
(720) 282-5000
www.unserkarting.com

Unser Karting and Events is an indoor karting venue, but it actually uses gas powered go karts; and it has a state of the art ventilation system that keeps the noxious fumes away from the professionally designed race track. Complete a short, 15 minute safety course before racing one of the adult or junior karts, then let the fun begin! Unser also has an actual tavern with beer on tap where you can enjoy pub faves like wings and pizza, and gourmet sandwiches like the chipotle turkey. Unser even has space for your next corporate event or party.
